Labor Day Weekend

As there was a holiday, and I worked from home this past week, I was able to squeeze in more physicality in my days. Starting September 5:

• Sun - World Class w/ Denise. Theme was be flexible; change happens. Try to adapt.
  Tai Chi, weights, cardio, stretching.
• Mon - Total Body Workout class w/ Christine. 75 min. class. Spinning, stepping, weights, Swiss ball.
• Tues - Denise training. Strength and cardio stations.
• Wed - Off
• Thurs - Run just over 2 miles w/ Judy - treadmill.
• Fri - Mat Pilates class w/ Todd. Some interesting moves.
• Sat - Denise was out of town, so I ran 2.7 miles in 30 min. Did abs, pushups.

Working out makes me feel good.

Hot August Nights (and Days)

Yeah, yeah. My last post was weeks ago, and I said I'd post more often. Hah! I don't know what happened, but obviously I never got around to it. In fun news, while Susan was visiting, we went to the movies and saw "The Other Guys". Jim, Susan, and I thought it was pretty funny.

In less interesting news, I've started cleaning out my closet, and am almost finished. All proceeds are going to Goodwill. May they enjoy the bags and bags of clothes I'm donating. Things are either too big, too old, ugly, or all three.

Jim and I hosted the monthly WAG (Wine and Appetizer Group) soiree. Our house is still undergoing some beautification, so we held it at PJ and Paul's gorgeous home. Thanks so much to PJ and Paul for letting us take over your house for the evening. I hope everyone had as good a time as we did!

On the gym-front, I had two weeks where I only managed to work out three days each week. I managed to step it up this past week, and go four times. Four seems perfect to me. So, here's the break-down. I'm also including the themes for each Sunday World class. I want to try to remember them, so I can include them in my everyday life.
